Makin’ A Splash + Garden Time

Did you all enjoy a wonderful Easter? It was amazingly sunny & warm for our area – 64F for the high! Of course, the rest of the week we’ve seen rain and hail and even snow. Open-mouthed smile But we enjoyed the lovely warmth on Easter, spent time outdoors, colored eggs with our son & his wife, and enjoyed a {huge} delicious dinner. Smile

This week in the shop I have something *old* and something *new* and yes, even something *blue!* lol! But, no, it is not anything to do with weddings (unless they’re in the garden or at Sea World! lol). I’ve polished up the very first kit I ever released, Herbal Garden, and am offering it in my GingerScraps shop. I also have a new minikit, Fun Splash, that’s perfect for scrapping those sea life park photos! Both kits, plus the individual packs for Herbal Garden, will be on sale at 40% off through Sunday.

Herbal Garden {the kit} – Sale $3.15

Signs of Spring …

It is Spring.

The sun is shining brightly… and there are fluffy little snowflakes drifting lazily down from the sky. It’s spring in North Idaho. Smile I just packed away our heavy winter boots for the season. It’s spring. We’re working to clean out the garage. It’s definitely spring. The deer nibbled on my daffodils a little. It’s spring. The bluebirds are hanging around the birdhouses out front. It’s spring. The dog needs a bath, the bikes need tuned up, my shopping list includes things like steer manure and rose food … it’s spring!!

In celebration of spring, I’ve created some fun photo masks which are in the shop at 40% off all weekend.

MaskIt: Springtime {photo masks} – just $1.35 on sale!
